Sweet Divorce

Was She Wronged That Year?

"From the video, it's obvious that the girl beside you knocked you on purpose to let your phone drop down. She bent down to pick it up. Strangely, it took her so long … "

Jacob pointed at a stranger in the video, turning his head to Rita and asked, "Do you know this girl?"

"No." Rita staring at that strange face shook her head.

Then she asked Liam, "You were also present that day. Do you know her?"

"I don't know."

Liam shook his head. Then the light in Rita's eyes became a little dim, and there was full of disappointment.

Liam noticed her expression. He immediately questioned Jacob, "I asked you to investigate the event of that year, and this is what you gave me?!"

Facing the Liam's questioning, Jacob licked his lips embarrassedly and answered, "Uh … I showed the photo of this girl to people who took part in the dinner party that year, but no one said they knew her. Thus, I can't follow the clue."

Hearing this, Rita was more disappointed.

She thought she could finally justify herself!

However, it ended up like this.

'I would not be discouraged, though.'

For her, the video was like a ray of light in the dark. It gave her hope. She will spare no effort to expose the plot and show the truth to people.

Her determination was ignited again.

Rita looked at the video and took a screenshot.

Then she threw the phone to Jacob, and said, "Please send the photo of the girl to me on WeChat, thanks."

" … " Facing this request, Jacob showed his reluctance on his face clearly.

But he still obeyed since Liam agreed tacitly.

"Why do you want that photo?" Liam looked at her and asked in confusion.

"Although we don't know her, I think there must have been someone who knew her at that party. I will find out who she is even though I have to find everyone at that party and to ask them."

There was full of determination in her eyes.

At this moment, she seemed to be so attractive that Liam could not help glancing at her with mixed emotions. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

There were ingredients of hypnotic in the infusion bottle, so Rita lying on the bed gradually fell asleep.

Liam didn't leave the hospital until Mrs. Davis came.

Siting in the car,

Liam stared at the photo of that girl and furrowed his brow.

'Was Rita wronged that year?'

He turned his head to look at the passing view outside of the window, and there was Rita's determined look in his head.

Rita's determination really overwhelmed him at that moment. He even began to doubt if what he firmly believed these years was really true.

He felt a headache and squeezed his nose bridge. Then he turned to Jacob, "You must find out that girl no matter how difficult it will be!"

"Yes."

Jacob nodded gravely and drove Liam to the Wilson Group.

In the afternoon.

After finishing the infusion, Rita chose to take a cab home with Mrs. Davis.

On the way back home, Rita saw something and immediately called the driver, "Please pull up."

"Ms. Wilson, what happened?" Mrs. Davis asked, worrying about Rita.

"Nothing, I just saw a hairdresser and want to get a new haircut."

"What hairstyle do you want?" Mrs. Davis asked.

"Just cut them off." Rita smiled and answered.

Mrs. Davis was shocked while Rita was cool.

Everyone living in the Wilson Family knew that Rita's long black hair had been keeping for Mr. Wilson.

Mr. Wilson said he regarded of girls with long hair as attractive, so Rita had always been cherishing her hair.

Mrs. Davis thought Rita deeply loved Mr. Wilson since that.

'But today, she is cutting them off?'

Anyone would be shocked.

In the hairdresser, "Ms. Wilson, are you really going to cut them? You have kept them so many years." Mrs. Davis asked to make sure Rita was serious about this.

Rita firmly nodded, "Yes."

She closed her eyes, letting the barber cut off her long hair.

Looking at the hairs dropped on the ground, she smiled.

Her five-year obsession for Liam was died down as the haircut.

These years, she lost herself for loving him.

Now, she wants to start to find herself again.

'Just start with the hairstyle.'

She actually didn't like long hair, because she was lazy in taking care of long hair. Once she kept short hairstyle before marrying to Liam.

After getting married, Liam once said, "Women are more attractive with long hair."

Therefore, she began to keep long hair.

She had always tried to meet Liam's taste. Now she thought herself stupid for having done that.

After getting the new hairstyle, Rita was in a better mood now.

"Why are you so happy? Dear Ms. Wilson." Mrs. Davis asked when she saw Rita keep smiling.

"I think this is the real me!" Rita answered.

Mrs. Davis was surprised again.

Although she didn't know what happened these days, she found Rita's smile increased a lot during these days.

Actually, it was not Rita didn't like smiling, but she was coldly treated by Mr. Wilson these years. Naturally, her smiles seemed forced and fake.

Now Mrs. Davis found Rita really happy.

'Was Mr. Wilson really beginning to change after listening to his grandpa?'

Mrs. Davis felt relieved when thinking of this.

'The two people finally can put aside the grudge and really be together.'

Mrs. Davis didn't know Rita's actual thought-how to leave Liam as soon as possible. If there were no Liam's grandpa's health and her parents' condition to worry about, she would have already divorced and left.

Rita and Mrs. Davis were walking on the road when Rita's phone rang.

She looked at the phone number on the screen. Her smile disappeared and brow furrowed again.

This was a call from Charlotte.

After a few seconds of thinking, she answered the phone.

"Rita, come back to home now."

"What's the matter?" Rita responded coldly.

"The Nash couple came to our home because of the thing in the morning … Our grandma was blamed by them and she was so angry that she maybe has a heart attack next second."

Charlotte's voice was full of worry.

Being given little care and love by Amelia Miller when she was a child, Rita didn't like this grandma and reacted indifferently when hearing this.

"Rita, the Nash couple wanted grandma to deal with this thing, so grandma asked our uncle to replace you to apologize to the Nash Family … She is very angry now and wants to use our strict family rule on punishment!"

Hearing this, Rita's face expression changed instantly.

She hurriedly talked a few words to Mrs. Davis and then took a cab to the Brown's.
